I love my ninja 400. The perfect hooligan bike for the street. I really enjoy making it sing most of the time. Good on fuel, insurance, wear and tear, reliable, comfortable, good looking, cheap, good for filtering and fun. This 500 must be even more fun… but I really dislike the paint scheme. Imagine having to clean those when too, especially in and chain side. I also own the latest 1000 but that’s more for touring or a calm ride. The 400 is just an amazing dramatic bike and one that I’ll be keeping for a long time. Coming from a rider who has been riding for 25 years.

Go 500. Insurance is cheaper, it's about $2500+ less, it's about 50 lbs lighter, and if you flash the ECU and get a full exhaust system you can get more HP than the 650, and still be around $800 less.

So glad I got this bike 🥲💚

I have a question. I’ve never owned a bike. I don’t have the thoughts that a 400-600 cc isn’t enough bike for me. My concern is at highway speeds does it get up and go? Like if we’re cruising at 60, can I punch it and get up to speed to get out of the way? I have my eyes set in the 40th anniversary being my first bike. But I have that worry that it’s not enough power at highway speeds to get out of the way. Is this a valid concern? Any insight is appreciated

Bro, those are radically different bikes. The ZX-4RR is a torqueless, high-revving track bike that needs an ECU flash to unlock its full power. You gotta want that engine response and exciting sound. The Ninja 500 and 650 are torquey, low-revving bikes for the road that pull hard stock and will leave the ZX-4RR in the dust. It's gotta be what you precisely want. They're in different stratospheres!
